MIDlet as background app

[donricouga]

Ive created a midlet UI application and a background service by extending the Application Class. What I'd like to do is package them both into the same jar so as they both can share the same resources and also, they both access the same recordStores. I know with multiple midlets you can create a midlet suite.
SO my question : Is there a way to make a midlet (NON-UI) Run as a listening thread in the background listening to pushes ? If not, how can i make a midlet and the RIM API specific application be packaged together ?

Thanks

Forget the post above. My situation right now is currently the following.

App 1 : net.rim.device.api.system.Application which runs transparently in the background creates record stores whenever it gets push data by doing the following

RecordStore.openRecordStore("StoreName",true, RecordStore.AUTHMODE_ANY, true);

App2 : A GUI Midlet that should be able to read the record store created by App1 but the problem is that it does not find that RecordStore. What exactly am I doing wrong ???

Oh and until all else fails, i do want to avoid using the Blackberry persistence api because of the need to sign my files.
